Add remove problem in Win XP
November 8th, 2007
Finally, I’ve got time to fix this bug.
After upgrading my Internet Explorer 6 up to the seventh version, Add/Remove window in Control Panel wasn’t loading. After a bit of googling the problem was solved:
1.win+r, load "regedit32"
2.Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
3.SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Windows -> Uninstall
4.Find "ie7" folder and in the right side menu look for for "Uninstall string" row
5.Follow the Uninstall string and extract .exe file which will handle uninstalling IE7.
6.Restart your PC.
After it, everything loads fine now. The only disadvantage – you’ve got your Internet Explorer 6 back 
Step 7: Install Firefox
Step 8: Switch to Linux
David,
Unfortunately, it’s hard to avoid statistics – lots of people use IE6/IE7 and most of rendering stuff is different in Internet Explorer then in FF/Opera browsers.
Personally, I use Firefox for 2 year (already?) or more. Other browsers are kept in case of coding some CSS/XHTML/etc for cross-browser compatibility.
Some of the things ought to be done by Windows software for my University, thus I can’t completely avoid Windows
Example?
Leonid,
Robotics and automation: Microsoft Robotics Studio.
Multimedia: Adobe Flash CS3 Professional
Of course, they can be mounted via Wine or VirtualBox, but the performance slows down. I can replace Flash with gnash players, meanwhile I prefer Adobe stuff more
A year ago, Visual Programming: Microsoft Visual Studio 2003/2005
OK, I see
